- ccooffee 3y agoThe problem also occurs when searching for any low-ranking results in the iOS store, regardless of getting the exact name correct. A friend released a crossword game, and when searching the exact name of the app, it still comes up as the seventh result behind one ad and five other (much more popular) crossword apps with different names.
- swyx 3y agobut this is openai we are talking about, you'd think apple would fast track them towards ranking higher at least to not make apple look terrible
- armatav 3y agoI really do think it's just that some index/ranking doesn't get updated for about 24-48 hours - it always seemed to me to be a system issue. Plus, OpenAI has the link on their site, which will bolster the couple days initial release traffic.
- detrites 3y agoWhy doesn't Apple fix this? It seems like no matter how their backend architecture works, they could surely find a way even just to manually whitelist new big name apps from well-known companies to the top of search results. Why wouldn't they do that? It's only bad for everyone that instead there's this total shitshow litany of garbage presented to the user instead. It's bad for customers, bad for the app suppliers, and bad for Apple themselves. Totally bizarre.
